Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Law Office of James J. Carrigan handle Social Security disability appeals?
Yes, the firm handles Social Security disability cases at multiple levels, including initial applications, reconsideration requests, and hearings before an Administrative Law Judge. If your claim has been denied, contacting the office to discuss your appeal options is a reasonable next step.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over your career. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. Both require a qualifying disability, and an attorney can help you determine which program applies to your situation.
Can this firm help if my disability claim was recently denied?
Yes. Many Social Security disability claims are denied at the initial stage, but that does not mean your case is over. The firm can review your denial notice, assess the strength of your medical evidence, and help you file an appeal within the required deadlines.
Does the firm handle personal injury cases in addition to disability?
Yes. The Law Office of James J. Carrigan also handles personal injury cases. If you were injured in a car accident, a slip and fall, or another type of incident caused by someone else's negligence, the firm can evaluate your claim.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take in Massachusetts?
The timeline varies significantly. Initial applications can take three to six months for a decision, and if you need to appeal to the hearing level, wait times at the Boston hearing office and other Massachusetts offices have historically ranged from several months to over a year. An attorney can help move the process along by ensuring your file is complete.
Is there a fee to consult with the firm about my disability case?
You should contact the office directly to confirm their consultation policy. Social Security disability attorneys in Massachusetts typically work on a contingency basis, collecting a fee only if you win, with that fee capped by federal regulations.
